Grand River Raceway is an award-winning entertainment destination located in beautiful Elora, ON. Our unique facility offers year-round slots gaming (open 24/7), dining and special events, and seasonal horse racing.

Grand River Raceway is the organizer and host of the Grand Craft & Gift Market.

Grand River Raceway is a unique venue which offers exceptional value for show vendors.

• Foot traffic averages 1,500+ visitors per day on weekends as guests visit for slots gaming and dining (including Sunday brunch).

• These guests provide a captive core audience for The Grand Craft & Gift Market.

• We leverage this traffic for your benefit with show signage at the road and at the front doors of our facility.

• You’ll directly benefit from our extensive marketing channels in promoting the show to shoppers.

• The ground level show floor is completely accessible. Washrooms are available on the same floor. Food and beverage is available on the main floor.

• Grand River Raceway Bookings Dept. staff available before, after and during the show to address vendor concerns.

• Grand River Raceway will incentivize shoppers to complete surveys at each show. Summary findings of these surveys will be shared with vendors after each show in order to better define the shows’ audience and empower vendors to modify their offerings to maximize sales.

• Vendors will also be invited to complete surveys after each show to ensure Grand River Raceway is providing exceptional service and facilitating maximized sales.
